Munich. In July 2015 BMW M GmbH will replace the
existing Competition Package for the BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Gran Coupe
and BMW M6 Convertible with an upgraded version. The new Competition
Package has been developed with a keen eye on enhancing driving
dynamics. It includes a power boost for the 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine
with M TwinPower Turbo technology (BMW M6 Coupe/BMW M6 Gran Coupe/BMW
M6 Convertible: fuel consumption combined: 9.9/9.9/10.3 l/100 km
[28.5/28.5/27.4 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 231/231/239 g/km)*
of 29 kW/40 hp over the standard unit, to 441 kW/600 hp. Peak torque
also rises, from 680 Nm (501 lb-ft) in standard tune to 700 Nm (516
lb-ft), and is available across an extremely wide rev band – between
1,500 and 6,000 rpm.

New personal best for the BMW M6 Coupe: 0 – 200 km/h (124 mph)
in 11.8 seconds. The three model variants impress with outstanding performance
when fitted with the new optional Competition Package. For example,
the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is all over in 3.9 seconds in
the BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Gran Coupe or 4.0 seconds in the BMW M6
Convertible. What’s more, the BMW M6 Coupe requires just 11.8 seconds
to power from 0 – 200 km/h (124 mph), making it 0.6 seconds faster to
the mark than with the previous version of the Competition Package
(423 kW/575 hp). The top speed of all Competition models is
electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph), but can be stoked to 305
km/h (189 mph) by specifying the optional M Driver’s Package.

The Competition Package includes various measures designed to
appreciably enrich the cars’ handling. Here the same principle applies
as in the development of all BMW M cars: the chassis technology is
tuned precisely to the performance characteristics of the powertrain.
The result is maximum performance combined with assured and precisely
controllable responses at all times – even when pushing the dynamic
envelope. To this end, the springs, dampers and anti-roll bars all get
firmer tuning. The Active M Differential on the final drive works with
its own control unit to further improve traction, allowing the driver
to accelerate even more dynamically out of tight corners, for example.
The steering with M-specific Servotronic function has more direct
mapping while the M Dynamic Mode of the DSC (Dynamic Stability
Control) system is focused even more intently on delivering sporty handling.

The BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Gran Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible with
Competition Package will be available from July 2015.

CO2 emission information.

The following applies to consumption figures for vehicles with new type approval, September 2017 onward: The figures for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption are obtained in accordance with the specified measuring procedure (EC Regulation No. 715/2007), as issued and amended. The figures are for a basic-version vehicle in Germany. The bandwidths allow for differences in the choice of wheel and tire sizes and items of optional equipment and can be changed by the configuration.

Obtained on the basis of the new "Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure" (WLTP), the figures are converted back to the "New European Driving Cycle" (NEDC) for the sake of comparability. Values other than those stated here may be used for the purposes of taxation and for other vehicle-related duties relating to CO2 emissions.

More information about official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be obtained from the "guideline on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and current consumption of new passenger cars", available here: https://www.dat.de/co2/.
